I am awaiting word on the fate of friends/colleagues of mine at the
Mississippi Sandhill Crane Refuge, located near the Mississippi coast, as
well as the fate of the refuge itself. While the refuge is far enough from
the coast to have avoided the storm surge, there could still be considerable
losses. Mississippi Sandhill Cranes are an endangered subspecies of sandhill
cranes, with a population of ~100. Katrina had the potential to really
impact the population.
The Audubon Center for Research in Endangered Species near New Orleans is a
breeding facility for Whooping Cranes. The storm killed one crane, but that
was it. A staff of 4 is working there now.
